Hall was also charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime.The report states that the victim told police that he saw Hall and the younger teen approaching him on Chambers Avenue about 11:25 p.m. Hall pointed a gun in the man's face and told him to “give it up,” the report states.The man said he was not going to give them anything, and Hall kept asking the juvenile if he should shoot the man, according to the report. The man knocked on his cousin's door, and she called the police.The teens walked off without taking anything from the man. Police responding to the area found them running behind some apartments on Chambers Avenue and took them into custody.Hall remained at the Union County Jail Tuesday awaiting a bond hearing.
